Altarum Behavioral Health Experts To Help Ohio County Address Opioid Crisis

Altarum will use funding from the Nord Family Foundation to help identify and evaluate ways in which Lorrain County's opioid crisis can be combated. Opioid related deaths in the county have been twenty times greater this year than in past years.

In addition to making observations and recommendations on stemming the opioid crisis, Altarum will undergo a national environmental scan to identify best practices for coordinating care to tackle the opioid epidemic. It is hoped that with such efforts, more consumers who are in need of opioid treatment and recovery will be able to locate and access the support . . .
